Rivero in 26:46 minutes on the court of the Arena Gran Canaria on Tuesday had an excellent shooting performance, scoring four of five two-point shot attempts (80 percent), one of two three-pointers attempted (50 percent) and three of six free throws (50 percent).

His performance included four rebounds and a 15-credit rating. On offense, he was only surpassed by Slovenian Klement Prepelic with 18 points, according to the official statistics.

On Tuesday the slate remained very level with quarters 18-20, 18-18, 21-19 and 24-24 to get even at 81 and decide in overtime won 10-9 by the locals, led by the American known as AJ Slauther with 23 units.

In the next round, Valencia will face Virtus Segafredo Bologa of Italy on February 9.
